    Php is an easy to learn, useful language - you can get comfortable with the basics of coding within a familiar (web) setting. It can get as complex as you like, and even on up to Object Orientated Programming (OOP), which is the fundamentals of C-family programming. Php is actually written in C.
    C, C++, C# and Objective C etc are proper 'grown up', lower-level languages that do require some real work to grasp their often counter-intuitive principles. It might be nice to whet your whistle on something a little more palatable first.

      I have a good understanding of CSS and HTML (I know, big deal) but lets say that I'm interested in learning one of the C language or objective-c - is there a lighter language I should learn first to prepare me?

      Clueless about this - so any advice would be helpful.
